Accessibility

This shows the accessibility options for the different types of ebook PDF files:                                                                 

Text - can it be resized?

Background - can the colour be changed?

Read Aloud - can the text be read aloud by your device?

Where available the title is linked to the publisher's own accessibility page

Generally the device you use determines the background colour and read aloud functions
